While we at Premier Kia are not typically ones to play favorites, we are, however, ones for giving credit where it's due. And for our midsize sedan, the radically remodeled 2016 Kia Optima, some high praise is most definitely due.
What went into the creation of the latest model? Join Autotrader critic, Jabari Jones, as he explains:
Standard with the top-tier SX and SXL trims, the Optima's available turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine is downright exquisite. Synced to a six-speed automatic gearbox, this four-banger is good for a gargantuan 245 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. Its muscular underpinnings are also reflected in its 0-to-60 mph time; 6.7 seconds is all this thrilling thoroughbred needs to get the job done.
For more information about this ferocious four-door, or to take the wheel of one, we invite you to swing by our Branford, CT showroom. Our seasoned staff is available to address your every question regarding the Optima, or any other Kia model throughout the current catalog.
